| | | cup your hands | Explanation:
I am guessing what they must mean here, really.
Perhaps it might be this, as it is an established eye massage method.
See for instance:
"Cup your hands and gently press the palms over your eye sockets, without touching the eyes or eyelids themselves. Your fingers should be pointing out and upwards, towards your hairline, or where your hairline used to be. Now press your palms evenly inward, creating a uniform pressure all around the skull and muscles that enclose your eyes."
